Zodiac Kills
Chapter 3
Charge the Bull

The two woman sat in silence in the car, Blood still pissed that she had been struck, and Cross, no emotion could explain how she felt.
It was like she had taken somones life away, just after giving it misery.
'She knew she couldn't take the blame for Delta's death, but she felt like it was entirely her fualt.
She looked to Blood, then back out the window. "If only I had treated him better.."
Blood let out a cold laugh and moved a hand off the wheel to stick it out the window, tapping the top of the car to the singer Shakira.
"You should have. If you did he would still be here. You two would have been retired, still together. Oh maybe you could have even started a family."
The teasing tone was easy to hear, and Cross clenched her teeth just to hold back from killing her on the spot. Instead, she changed the subject.
"We still need to send Arms after Taurus." She said this in her normal voice, though there was a hint of venom.
Blood kept silent and raised the talkie from her belt, pressing her thumb on the button.
"Arms, target Taurus in the Pine district." The small machine buzzed in her hand for a moment before a reply came. "Alright, up and on it."
She held it for a few seconds before speaking into it again. "Don't be fooled by her age or attitude Arms, she is a killer." Then she put it down and continued to drive.
Somewhere at the other side of town, the second male that was with Cross sat in a Ford, he was going through files and setting some aside before finding what he was looking for, reading them aloud.
His eyes were dark, basically black, but had a slight green tinge to them that made them seem grey. His hair was short, but long enough to hang over his eyes. The dark brown color of it left away the sun.
"Taurus, Name Ezgi, age Six of years, wears a bright red dress, blonde hair, eyes of red and carries the skull of a bull." He made a sound as he thought and read through her files.
He sighed. "A Taurus.. Aren't they talented in things..?" He asked no one in particular, starting up his truck and pulling away from the side to drive down the street.
Cross sat in her seat, arms crosed and staring out the window. "We could have at least brought him.." She said quietly.
Blood didn't look at her, and moved some hair from her face. "If we brought him there would have been more red to my car."
Cross hissed, turning her head to face her. "Quit worrying about your car! This isn't about your car! This is about the citizens of this town! About each and every one of their lives! David died trying to stop Aries, and it was because he didn't back down when he was threatened. He didn't worry about his car, he cared about us all!"
The car screeched to a halt, and Blood shifted gears to park, turning to glare at her. "Shut your hole Cross, if he really cared, then he would have gotten the job done, caught Aries and returned to the base room to have him trasnported back to his cell."
Cross could feel her face fill up with rage. "Doing his job wouldn't have proved his love for other people! It just shows that he'll finished his objective and come home safe! Why are you the one leading this!? You should be dismissed from duty."
Blood snarled and pulled the pistol from her holster, directing it to Cross's face, ice blue eyes angry and holding lasers.
"Get out of my car."
Cross unclicked her buckle and opened the door, sliding out and slamming it shut.
Blood soared away with curses, and the blonde held up her gun, aiming and shooting at the car, throwing curses right back.
The car spun out of veiw and she let the gun fall to her side, muttering under her breath.
She began to walk in the same direction, gazing around carefully as she listened.
Cross heard clipping, like hooves and looked around more before her eyes were brought up to a bright light that shown away from the near dark sky.
The ram.
And atop the ram, was Kenji.
He tilt his head with a smirk. "Hello~"
She pulled out her gun and took aim, her blonde hair sliding near the back of her head as she looked up at him, standing on the building.
She fired a bullet, and it ricocheted away from the beast he was on. Its eyes flashed red, and it leapt down, he launched himself off and fell down.
Cross was late at realizing that he was going directly for her, and was slammed to the ground, her own gun held under her chin and arms both pinned above her head with one of his hands.
She pulled at her arms with all her strength and he leaned down far enough to look her in the eyes.
The Aries was on his knee's over her, his feet holding hers down despite being hoofs.
"You look like Aquarius."
She growled narrowing her eyes. "Kill me or let me take you back." She hissed.
He cackled leaping up to his feet. "Can only mean one thing~"
Back with Arms, he pulled up to a building, after following the signs of the little girl, he came to a stop at a playground, stepping out of his truck and pulling up a pistol.
He walked into the gravel, looking atound in mortified terror.
Corpses.
The corpses of children littered the playground. Two boys were prawled on the bottom of a slide, and a child was hanging from her legs on the monkey bars, blood dripping from her stomach that had been sliced open. There were squishing sounds, and he looked to the swings, mouth falling open in disgust.
There was the young girl he was looking for, splattered with blood, her red eyes staring off in a daze. Only thing was..
She was sitting on a body, a young boys body, whose intestines were stretched up over the bars and tied. She was swinging back and forth, the skull of a bull in her lap.
He approached her carefully, holding his gun in both hands and lowered down to a near kneel.
"Little girl.."
He spoke softly, trying not to scare her off, as his job was to bring her back.
"Come here.. Its not safe here."
He reached out a hand, and pulled it back quickly when she turned her bright red eyes to him.
"But I like it here." She said. "I made it pretty."
He nodded slowly, skin having paled, and he held his hand out again. "Yes.. It is very pretty."
She took his hand and like every other child, and slid off the 'guts and gore' swing she had designed.
He led the way back to his truck, helping her in the back, and closing the door, moving o the front door and before opening it, speaking into his talkie.
"I have Taurus, I'll be heading back to the Whites now."
He placed it into his belt and opened the door, jumping inside and closing the door.
Arms started the truck up and made driving back to the asylum.
It was a few minutes when the girl spoke. "Do you wanna play a game with me?"
He looked in the mirror and smiled. "Sure, what game?"
She giggled and held up her skull. "Bullseye says eye spy!"
He looked back to the road. "Alright, you first."
She seemed to have a smile that darkened, and she pulled something from the ribbon in her dress that he could not see. "I spy something red~"
He laughed inwardly at the simple spy, but swerved the car with a gasp of pain and surprise when he felt a blade jerked into his side.
His hand bolt down to his side where he found it, and it was grasped by the girls small hands.
Arms looked into the mirror, to see the girl with a devilish smirk.
She twisted the knife and received a loud screech of pain before yanking it out and with stunning speed, stabbing it back into his side in different spots three times.
He turned the wheel with a loud scream, and crashied right into a brick wall.
There was silence before the Taurus's giggles started, and she continued to stab him.
She put her knife away and crawled into the front seat, dipping her hands into his side and pulling them out with one of his spleens, ripped clean out.
She then opened the door and dropped out, crawling up onto the trucks wheels and helping herself onto the white vehicle.
She then sat on the hood and began to smear blood over the color, squeezing more from the spleen.
After a bit, she hopped down, tossing the spleen on the ground and picking up her skull.
"I had lots of fun Mr! Lets play again sometime!"
